Nottingham Forest have been handed a blow in their bid to bolster their ranks even further before the transfer window closes next week.
The Reds had been linked with Atletico Madrid left-back Renan Lodi this week. They had "begun talks" with the Spanish club over a potential loan deal, according to football reporter Jacque Talbot.
However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has since quelled any optimism over a deal. He tweeted that there is "no way" for a loan to happen "as things stand".
